Exclusive: Source: Beyonce Is Pregnant!

Celebrity Moms October 20, 2010 AT 8:03AM By UsWeekly Staff

Beyonce Knowles better brush up on her lullabies.

The 29-year-old singer is pregnant with her first child, the new Us Weekly reports.

Despite the happy news, no one was more surprised than the singer herself.

"B was shocked. She loves kids, but she wasn't ready to be a mother just yet," says a source of the singer, who married rapper Jay-Z in 2008. "She really wanted to get her album done and tour the world again."

Still, another insider says that the singer, who is in her first trimester, realizes that "this is a gift from God and she's so happy."

Friends of the couple are already expressing their well-wishes for the parents-to-be.

"Jay has been all about family since I met him, and he's always going to be," record executive Kevin Liles, who has known the rapper for years, tells Us. "I wish them the best."

Knowles' sister Solange -- and mom to Julez, 6 -- agrees.

"She's got the most beautiful heart," she tells Us of her big sis. "She'll be a great mom."

For more baby details -- including the celeb pals already lining up to baby-sit; how Knowles plans to juggle a baby and a career; and why Jay-Z persuaded his wife to try for a family sooner -- pick up the new Us Weekly today.

Beyonce announces her pregnancy. Intuitive Scoop listeners already knew of her forth coming 1st pregnancy back in Dec 2010.

I agree with @moniqueduells.. monique's comment: Am I the only who's sick of ppl having unprotected sex then saying after they get pregnant or an STD that they're shocked? What did u think was gonna happen? Duh!! Either you're gonna get pregnant or get a disease. How many times does it need to be said or how many commercials, billboards, reality shows do you need to see before you get it? Stop being an idiot ladies & men alike. Be smart about your choices/sex life. Lastly, don't take it out on the unborn baby because u chose to be an idiot!! (in my judge judy voice)

I DO NOT LIKE US MAGAZINE..THEY ARE A CHEAP, TABLOID MAGAZINE BUT THE ONLY WAY TO MAKE A COMMENT IS TO FRIEND THEM..PITIFUL MAGAZINE, THEY HAVE TO FORCE PEOPLE TO LIKE THEM BECAUSE THEY KNOW LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES NO ONE WOULD GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THEM..
